DE&I Series Presented by Humana: Amplifying LGBTQ+ Owned Businesses

According to the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), there are approximately 1.4 million LGBTQ+ business owners in the United States. LGBTQ+-owned businesses (LGBTEs) contribute more than $1 trillion to the US economy each year, yet they are an often overlooked for procurement, funding, and contracting opportunities. How can companies be more inclusive of, and collaborative with, LGBTQ+-owned businesses? What resources exist to support them? Join us for a conversation with LGBTQ+ business owners, and allies, on how LGBTQ+-owned businesses can get certified, the importance of the Civitas Regional LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, and how companies can diversify their supply chain to include more LGBTQ+ businesses to sustain relationships with America’s leading corporations.
